They're beautiful.

Thank you, doc.

I love you too, baby.

[Benjamin] Come on, honey, we can't be late.

I have a super important board meeting at 9:00.

Morning, princess.

[Raven] Morning, Dad.

Big day today, right?

Oh, you have no idea.

And your mother is gonna make me late

because she knows my car is in the shop

and she has to drop me off.

Well, why don't you just take Mom's car

and I'll wait for her

and drop her off on my way to work?

You sure?

'Cause I wouldn't want you to be late.

No, I don't have work until way later, Dad.

It's totally fine.

Aww, baby, you're the best.

Look, tell your mom I'll see her tonight for dinner, all right?

-And give her a kiss for me. -I will.

-All right. Love you, princess. -Love you too.

All right.

Good luck.

Thank you.

[Melissa] Hey, Benjamin.

Babe. Honey.

Baby, I'm ready.

He left me again?

Mom, you were gonna make him late.

Oh, man. I'm sorry.

I just didn't get very much sleep at all last night.

Your little brother kept me up with his nightmares.

Speaking of which, uh, Hampton.

No, no, no, I dropped him off at school already.

He's safe and sound.

You worry too much, Mom.

Oh, I am so happy that you're home now.

Don't get too used to it.

You know, I'm gonna be moving in my new place

in the next couple of weeks and starting my new job.

Oh, I know, I know.

It's just that when you were at college,

I missed you so much.

And now that you're back home,

I just don't wanna let you go again.

You know, you are the best thing

that ever happened to me.

You know that, right?

I know, Mom. You tell me all the time.

But there's also a lot you don't tell me as well.

Okay. Uh, not now, Raven. Please.

Mom, then when?

You dance around the topic every time I bring it up.

Yeah, but it's just not important right now, baby, okay?

Maybe not to you.

[sighs] Listen, Raven.

Um, I promise you

that when the time is right,

I will tell you all there is to know

about your birth parents.

You know, but for now,

just enjoy the family that you have.

I do enjoy you all.

I love everything about my life.

Just something's missing.

And I can feel it in my soul.

Raven, I promise

we will talk about it soon, okay?

And no more sneaking around on that Find Me app either.

What? How'd you know?

I'm your mother. A mother knows everything.

You know what? Let's just--

let's just skip our jobs today and just go shopping for today.

Let's just skip it. Skip it.

Let's go shopping on your daddy's Amex, okay?

-Let's just-- -Ooh,

you know I like to spend Dad's money.

[Melissa] Yes. Off of these scrubs.

Let's just go shopping.

[birds chirping]

[heavy breathing]

Oh, there she is.

Good morning.

[Tiana] Good morning.

-How are you doing, goddess? -I'm good.

-All right. Come here. -Oh.

-Okay. -[chuckles]

-So... -Hmm?

You ready for this weekend?

Baby, don't you think

it's a little bit too soon for that?

I mean, the babies just got here a few months ago.

And we need a nanny.

We're gonna find the perfect nanny.

We just have to be patient.

But our trip, we planned for three months ago.

You're not thinking about backing out on me, are you?

No. I mean, the babies weren't here three months ago.

And no, I'm not thinking about backing out.

It's just that we need to find somebody that's trustworthy.

Well, what happened to your auntie?

I thought she was gonna watch the kids.

You mean the one with the three bad teenagers of her own?

And a newborn?

Baby, have you lost your mind?

I am not letting her watch my twins.

[Mark] I have not lost my mind. All right. Fine.

This trip's important

but our children are more important.

There'll be other trips.

You mean that?

Of course I do.

[giggling] You're the best.

Only because you make me so.

Oh.

-Okay. -Good morning.

-Okay. -Good morning to you. Uh-huh.

[romantic music]

[Benjamin] So how's your new place

working out for you?

Downtown LA, that's a bit scary.

[chuckles]

I love it.

Oh, do you feel like you have enough space?

I like a smaller space, Dad. You know big spaces scare me.

All right. Okay.

Well, you know, you can always move back in with us.

Your room is not too big.

And if you need me then we can go shopping

-on Daddy's Amex. -Hey.

Mom, I'm just fine where I'm at.

Hey, Mom, what's an Amex?

Uh, nothing you should be worried about, baby.

An Amex is this little card Mommy and I use to get happy

-and make Daddy mad. -[laughter]

You know, some things never change.

When you were little,

your mom would sneak you off to the mall

and buy everything that you pointed out with my Amex.

[laughs] I remember you telling me that.

[laughs] So I remember this one time you were about,

like, two or three, and you pointed at a car.

And what happened?

Why do you think we had that Ferrari in the garage?

-[laughter] -[Raven] Oh, my God.

You two are too much.

And I was wondering where I got my sense of humor from.

[clears throat]

[Raven] Oh, I'm sorry,

um, I didn't mean it like that.

[Benjamin] It's okay, princess.

Um, it's no secret you were adopted.

What does adopted mean?

Oh, not now, baby.

It's something you're never going to have to worry about.

I'm sorry.

Look, uh, I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers.

It's just sometimes I'd like to know where I come from.

Where you come from is not important.

-It's where-- -Where you're going.

Yes, Dad, I know.

-Right. -You tell me all the time.

And also, you're with us.

We're your family and we love you very much.

I love you guys too.

But sometimes, I just feel like the oddball.

Like, literally, I'm the only one at this table

who doesn't know who her real family is.

-Raven. -[Raven] No, Mom!

I'm tired of you two

trying to brush it off like I'll forget!

Like I'm some kind of child you can distract

and just change the subject.

Now, either you tell me or I'll figure it out myself!

Is Raven okay?

-Yes, baby, Raven is okay. -Yeah.

Um, you know what?

Why don't you go up to your room, okay?

-Okay. -[Melissa] Mommy loves you.

I love you too, Mom.

I'll be up in a little while, okay?

Okay.

Good night, soldier.

You knew this would happen.

Yes, but I didn't know how serious it would get.

Look, she needs to know her past

before this thing comes back to haunt us.

I agree. And I'm sorry.

This has all come down on you.

You gotta deal with this, okay?

This is all on me. This is all my doing.

I would have never have taken her

if you and I had met already.

[sighs]

I know, Mel. But look,

we have got to fix this before it gets out of hand.

Her mother is mentally ill

and that's me being nice.

And I also called the pharmacy,

she never picked up her refills,

which means she's off her meds.

That's why she's lashing out.

-And I think you already-- -[Melissa] Yeah,

I already know the danger, baby.

I know.

Have you been in contact with the doctor

that you named her after?

Um, Fields,

Raven Fields was her name, right?

-Raven Fields. -[Melissa] I...no.

Raven? I mean, not in, like, 20 years.

Last I heard, she moved to Japan to expand.

ABCW is, like, worldwide now.

-Well, what about her twin? -Twin?

I mean, do you have any information on her?

Uh, we need to find her family.

Okay. But let's be clear.

We go down that road,

I go to jail for kidnapping,

and you, you get in trouble

for aiding and abetting a criminal act.

Now, we both go away, what happens to Hampton?

[sighs]

[sighs]

Hey, good morning, my love.

Hey. You all right?

Hey.

[Mark] What's that?

Hmm, massacre.

That is so extra.

Babe, newspapers, social media,

it's just for entertainment.

They always embellish the story.

[scoffs] Yeah.

But I didn't massacre anyone.

I did what I had to do to protect my friend

and they make it seem like I'm some type of murderer.

And that's why you're here and not in prison.

People know it wasn't murder.

It was self-defense, my love.

Uh-uh. Baby, that's not what this paper mentions.

I mean, no one states the fact that she came into my house,

beat my ass, and then left me for dead.

[yelling]

[both grunting]

[pained yell]

[pained yell]

[both grunting]

[yelling]

[both screaming]

[grunt]

It says three times?

You told me you only shot her once, though.

Don't believe everything you read.

[grunting]

[screams]

[Tiana] It was only one.

[Mark] Well, it says you shot her in the back

when she wasn't looking.

You didn't even give her a chance to fight back.

Damn. That's cold-blooded, baby.

[laughs]

Baby, that's not funny.

-I'm sorry. -And then they make it seem

like I shot her in cold blood.

[Mark] I'm sorry. How about you stop reading that trash?

It's gonna poison your mind and ruin your day.

-Okay. -Okay?

You read a book, maybe.

-Okay. -You know?

I'm sorry. I was looking in the paper for a nanny.

All right. Okay. Well, we're not in the '90s.

-How about we go online? -[laughs] Okay.

You know, uh, why don't you use the app?

Okay.

It's gonna be a lot better than that.

It's just at the paper, it has good ads.

Okay. Suit yourself.

I love you.

I love you too.

I'm going to work. I love you.

Okay.

[sniffs]

[Raven] Maternity doctor involved in attempted murder?

Dr. Raven Fields delivers two babies to an addict mother,

Diane Dotson.

One of the babies did not make it.

The other, Annie Dotson, coincidentally,

20 years later, finds Ms. Fields,

ends up working for her and tries to kill her.

But not before Raven's best friend, Tiana Chambers,

rushes in and kills Annie,

shooting her three times in the back.

Annie, Annie Dotson.

My sister.

[Annie] Hey, y'all. I just wanna show you

where I've been living, but not for long

because I have some really exciting news.

Say hi, Jerry.

Now, I got to introduce you to my two favorite people.

These are my besties, Ryan and Leslie.

Come on, say hi guys.

-Hey, guys. -Hey, guys.

[laughter]

Okay. Anyway, some good news.

-Uh-hmm. -I just started a new internship

with the one and only Raven Fields!

[screams]

This is my dream come true.

I cannot wait to share with you guys what's next.

Uh, maybe next you can make us

some money and buy us a new house.

-That part. Okay? -Okay?

Of course, that's the ultimate goal.

Anyways, that's it for now, it's getting late,

time for us to go to bed.

See you later.

Annie.

You were so beautiful.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, damn it.

Hey, Taylor.

Hey, um, does your cousin still have access

to certain case files?

He does? Okay. Perfect.

I need a huge favor.

♪

♪

[knocks on door]

♪

-Hey. -Hey.

Oh, thank you so much for this, Tay.

Did you look at it?

I'm not supposed to, so no, I didn't.

But you know my cousin could lose his job over this.

He said that you owe him dinner and a movie.

For this, my treat.

Okay. See you soon.

Yeah, see you soon.

Thank you again.

Don't thank me. Thank my cousin.

Oh. Get out.

-Bye. -Bye.

[Raven sighs]

Annie, I'm so sorry.

[Annie] Don't be sorry, Rae. It's not your fault.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. No. No, you're not real.

Don't be so dramatic, Rae.

You're not real. You're not real.

This can't be happening, no.

I am real.

I am to you, anyway.

Actually, I am you.

Stop talking to me.

You're dead.

[laughs]

Yeah, I am dead.

But you're the one who needs to stop talking to me.

[Raven] Why are you here?

Because you stopped taking your medicine,

so here I am.

It's your brain, not mine.

What you looking at over there?

Hmm, so sad.

Raven was a good person.

She actually cared about my well-being.

I miss her.

Annie, please leave.

I don't want you here.

Obviously, you do.

And I'm not going anywhere

until I find out why I'm here.

Get away from me!

Look.

You clearly need my help.

You wanna get revenge off this Tiana girl, right?

What? I never said anything about revenge.

I was just looking it up.

Don't forget I'm in your mind,

so I kind of know all of your thoughts.

Don't worry.

I can help you get revenge.

I was only doing research.

I never knew I had a twin until now.

That's the end of the story.

Okay. Fine.

If you want me to let you believe that, okay.

Or we can get revenge on the woman

who murdered me and kill her.

What? Annie, I'm not a murderer.

I'm not killing anyone.

Okay. Fine, I'll do it.

What? No, no, no, no.

No, please. It's fine.

We can find her, but I just wanna talk.

No revenge, just a conversation.

Okay. Don't worry.

I'll be good.

[Melissa] Raven, what are you doing?

I was just leaving.

The, uh, pharmacist called.

Said you never refilled your order.

Yeah, so what?

Raven.

Raven, we talked about this.

Those pills help you.

You mean they help me not hallucinate?

Why would you not tell me that I'm a psycho?

Because you're not.

Your case is rare.

Those pills are for your protection, honey.

From who?

From yourself.

How?

How could you?

How could you take me away from my sister?

She would've still been alive

if you wouldn't have done that.

Okay.

So you heard?

Raven, you were pronounced dead,

a stillborn.

[Donna screaming]

One more. You've got this.

She's right there, Donna. Push! Now!

-[Donna yelling] -Push! Push! Push!

Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!

Oh, Donna, she's here.

She's not breathing.

-[Donna sobbing] -[woman] Oh, sorry.

So, sorry.

Donna! Oh, no, she's going into shock!

[Melissa] Oh, boy.

Oh. Oh, no. Oh.

Right. Come on.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

Oh. Okay.

Come on, baby.

Oh. Come on.

Come on. Oh, oh.

[panting]

Okay.

Don't you worry about a thing, baby.

You're gonna be just fine.

I'm here.

I'm here to keep you safe.

[panting]

Your mother was an addict.

And I didn't wanna risk you growing up

in an environment like that.

And what about my sister?

I couldn't do anything about her.

So you stole me from the hospital?

And you really think that's okay?

That's super illegal!

I told you.

You were dead.

Like, honey, you wouldn't even be here

right now if it weren't for me.

I think I deserve a little credit for that.

I think that you deserve to go to jail!

Oh.

And I think you need to watch your mouth.

You've been asking?

Okay, Raven.

Your mother was diagnosed

with multiple personality disorder,

schizophrenia, and she was also bipolar.

This file has all you need to know about her.

And the part about how she tried

to kill your twin sister, Annie,

when she was just a year old.

And how she abused her daily

because she blamed her for killing you.

But I didn't die!

And if you would've told them that I was still alive,

Annie wouldn't have gone through any of that!

We could've grown up together.

Can you imagine how fun that would've been?

To grow up with a twin sister?

All the opportunities we could've had?

Opportunities?

Girl, have you looked around lately?

Opportunities?

Raven, you just graduated from Stanford.

Honey, you can be whatever you wanna be

because your father and I were able to provide

the perfect life for you.

Yeah. And what about Annie?

She's dead now.

And it's because of you.

-You killed her! -No, I didn't.

I hate you!

-No, you don't. -[Raven] Yes, I do!

And I never wanna see you again!

Raven, Raven, please.

Don't call me that!

That bitch is the reason why my sister is dead!

It's all you guys' fault,

and you will pay for what you've done!

Raven, your sister killed your mother.

Because she has the same mental illness as you.

What?

What are you talking about?

Have you been seeing things?

Have you?

I don't wanna talk about it.

[Melissa] Raven, please, you need help.

You need to take your medication.

I need you to leave me alone.

Listen, honey, please.

I don't want you to be the same as them.

It's too late.

They're my real family.

And I guess the apple just doesn't fall

too far from the tree, huh?

Raven, please, please, just let me help you, honey.

Listen. Please.

Melissa, it's too late.

Oh, you don't call me that, honey.

I'm your mother.

Not anymore.

Raven?

Raven!

Oh.

[heavy bass track]

-[sighs] -[Annie] Hi.

[laughs]

Hi, sis.

How'd you get in here?

I'm everywhere you are, Rae.

What do you want?

The real question is, what do you want?

What do you think?

Well, you clearly wanna get revenge

on the woman who killed me.

But what exactly is your plan?

Well, I don't know.

I haven't really thought about it.

I just know I want her to pay for what she did to you.

Well, everything you do in life needs a plan.

Any ideas?

Take a seat.

If you really wanna get her back,

I know exactly what to do.

But it's gonna take some work.

What do you mean?

Well, you can't just show up on her doorstep

with the face of a woman who she murdered in cold blood.

So what were you thinking?

You're gonna have to change your appearance.

A new nose, a new chin,

maybe change the color of your eyes.

[suspenseful music]

[love song]

[Mark] Hey, my love. We have, uh, any luck

-on the nanny situation? -Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Actually, I found a five-star website online.

-Come on. -I took your advice, babe.

They actually hooked me up with two young ladies,

Donna Washington and Kelly Wright.

Now Donna, she seemed cool.

She actually has three years of experience

and wants to be a full-time nanny.

On the other hand, Kelly,

-she comes with her own family. -Uh-hmm.

Hmm. But both of them seem pretty good.

Well, what about the one you like the most Donna?

You know, what happened with her last family?

Oh, they moved out of state.

But look, Donna wants

to be a full-time nanny and we need a nanny,

-so sounds too good to be true. -Too good to be true.

All right. We got two contenders.

-We're doing pretty good. -[laughs]

Yeah, we're doing good. But I need to meet 'em both.

I talked to Donna on the phone

and she seems like she has good energy, so.

Well, why don't you hurry up and pick one, okay?

I got a trip coming up out of town,

and I need my wifey to come with me.

-Okay. -Or, you know, I can always,

um, meet one of my side chicks to come.

I got rid of most of them when we got married.

But, you know, you never know. [laughs]

[Tiana] Is that right? Is that right?

[laughter]

I will kill you and all your side chicks.

Oh, no. You're gonna shoot me

like you shot that girl, Annie?

You are so insensitive sometimes.

All right. I'm sorry, baby.

I went too far.

I was joking.

I love you. I'm sorry.

I apologize.

I love you.

Hmm. I love you too.

-Can I get a kiss? -Uh-hmm.

Thank you.

All right. Well, I gotta go to work.

I gotta go to work.

Okay.

Excuse me.

[laughter]

Let me know how the nanny thing goes, okay?

[Tiana] Okay. Be safe.

I will. I love you.

I love you too.

[car engine starts]

[Tiana laughs]

Bye, babe.

[sighs]

All right.

[knocks on door]

-Hi. -Hi.

You must be Donna.

Yes. And you must be Tiana, right?

Yes. Well, come on in.

Have a seat.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you. You are too.

Thank you.

Oh, this is Raya

and this is Kaya.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to get emotional.

They're just so perfect.

That's okay. I did the same thing

when I first met them.

[giggles]

-May I? -[Tiana] Oh, yeah.

Sure. Uh, careful.

It's okay. Promise.

Shh.

Got you.

She looks just like you.

She's so beautiful.

Thank you.

[Donna] Shh.

Oh.

Shh, it's okay.

♪ How I wonder what you are

[Tiana] So what made you wanna become a nanny?

I've always been good with kids.

I mean, I practically raised my little brother.

And I was a teacher's assistant

for a while in kindergarten.

I just love kids.

[chuckles]

So do you want kids of your own?

Oh, absolutely.

I just have to find the right man first

and get married.

I wanna do things right. Like you.

Thank you. But I don't think

I did anything right.

You have a beautiful home,

a husband who takes care of you,

and a beautiful family.

I mean, you obviously did something right.

Well, there's one thing that I did wrong,

still haunts me,

but that's a story for another time.

Well, hopefully if I get the job,

you can tell me about it.

Yeah. Hopefully.

You look familiar to me.

It's like we met before.

Really? Is that a bad thing?

No. It's a good thing.

I read people's energy. And yours is good.

[crow cawing]

I like your energy too.

Good.

Well, that's all the information I need from you.

So I'm gonna just run it by my husband

and if everything goes well,

maybe you can start right away.

Of course I can.

[Tiana] As soon as tomorrow?

Yeah. Just let me know.

[Tiana] Okay.

Where is your car?

Did you drive here?

Oh. Um, I took an Uber.

I actually have an appointment to go

pick my car up this afternoon.

Okay.

You know, I was thinking

after I put the kids to sleep

and do a little house cleaning,

I could cook some dinner.

Do you wanna stay and eat with us?

Do you like to cook?

My dad is a chef, so that's an absolutely.

But are you sure you want me to stay?

I mean, I feel like I'm intruding

since I haven't gotten the job yet.

Hopefully that would change after dinner.

Okay. How about I go pick up my car

and then I'll head back over to help.

Okay. That sounds like a plan.

-[Donna] Uh-hmm. See you soon. -All right. Bye.

[sighs]

All right. Shh.

[Mark] So what made you wanna invite her for dinner?

I mean, she's not even hired yet.

Um, well, I vibe with her

but I wanted you to vibe with her first

before I hired her.

She's supposed to help cook

but she said she had some things to do first.

Love, I ain't trying to vibe with no other woman

but you, all right?

You like her, you hire her, then we can get back

to our regularly scheduled sex program.

Well, babies don't stop Mom and Dad time.

-[Mark] Uh-uh. -That's why we have two.

-Yes, ma'am. -[moaning]

Oh, I like that.

Hmm. I like that.

Hmm.

[knocks on door]

[grunts]

Oh. Let me get the door.

All right. Hmm.

-Hi. -Hey.

Come on in.

Right over this way.

This is Mark. Mark, this is Donna.

-Nice to meet you, Donna. -Hi.

Hey. So, uh, I hear you can cook.

Well, like I was telling your wife here,

I come from a line of chefs, so, yes.

Oh, okay. Why am I still standing over here

cutting onions and crying?

Why don't you come over here and take over?

[laughter]

My husband is such a jokester.

Do you mind if I take over?

Sure. Why not?

-Yeah. -So, Mr. Chambers,

what do you do for a living?

Uh, film executive at a company called Tubi.

I work in the programming department.

What? Oh, my God.

I love Tubi.

I just cannot get enough of those stepmothers.

Okay. Okay. You got some taste on you.

I think I'm kinda liking her already.

I told you she had good energy.

All right.

Let's see if she can cook.

[chuckles]

Okay. I have to admit, I'm impressed.

-That was fire. -[chuckles]

You just may have my wife beat in the kitchen.

-Shut up, Mark. -[laughter]

-You know you love my cooking. -Absolutely.

You make a fine meal, Donna.

Thank you, Mr. Chambers.

And respectful as well.

But my father is Mr. Chambers.

-You can just call me Mark. -Okay.

All right. Thanks again for the meal.

And I hope everything works out all right deeply.

I gotta be up at 5:00.

-I love you. -I love you too.

All right. Now, you just might get some

if you don't take too long with this young lady.

-Hmm. -That's all I'm saying.

-Meet me upstairs. -[chuckles]

Come on. Come and get it.

[footsteps]

All right. You guys have a good one.

Goodnight.

[laughter]

[Donna] I used to play with all of my dolls.

Like, they were my kids.

I would do their hair, their makeup.

Oh, God.

Oh. See, I was the exact opposite.

I never wanted children.

I was too scared to change some diapers.

-[laughter] -Seriously?

If someone would've told me 10 years ago

that 10 years then I will be a mom,

I would've told them they have the wrong woman.

-[laughter] -Uh-hmm.

But let me tell you that all changed

when I met the right man and I became a wife.

Yeah.

Mark seems so amazing.

And the babies are just perfect.

-Yeah. -You really have

the perfect life.

Yeah, I do. I can't complain,

except for one thing.

-What's that? -A nanny.

-You're hired. -Wait, what?

-[laughs] -Really?

-Uh-hmm. -Oh, my God. Thank you so much.

I promise you, I will not let you down.

I know you won't. You can start tomorrow.

I'll need you in the morning, till about 8:00 or 9:00.

I'll give you the code to the alarm.

Okay. And what time should I be here?

Hmm. Well, Raya usually wakes up at about 5:30.

And Kaya, he wakes up at about 7:00, so how about 6:00?

I'll be here at 5:55.

All right. 5:55 it is.

-[chuckles] Cheers. -Hmm.

-I'm sorry, cheers. Okay. -Cheers.

Uh-hmm. Hmm.

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music continues]

So you're really just gonna work for the woman

who killed me like it's nothing?

You really think that just because you changed your face

they're not gonna know it's you?

Annie, get out of my head!

You know, Raven was gonna be my new mom.

We were gonna be a happy family.

But no, Tiana had to come

and ruin things by killing me!

-And now look at me! -Annie, that's not true.

Raven was gonna put you back in the crazy home

so you can sit and waste away.

Oh, yeah?

Well, then why don't you go

and tell her the truth then, Raven?

Take off the mask and tell her who you really are

and then she'll tell you the truth,

how she murdered me in cold blood.

And then you can get rid of her.

That was our plan, to get rid of her

the way that she got rid of me!

That was your plan!

And now that I've met her and her family,

they're really not that bad.

Maybe the plan has changed.

You said her family or is it her husband?

Hmm. Oh, I see.

You got a thing for the hubby?

You see the way he looks at her.

The way he touches her.

The way he loves her.

[chuckles]

But I'm sorry, Rae.

That will never be you.

He will never look at you that way.

You're way too young.

I'm not too young.

-I'm 21. -[Annie] Please,

you'll never be more than a babysitter in his eyes.

It doesn't matter.

I'm not gonna let him distract me.

The babies,

that was the plan,

-not the husband. -[Annie scoffs]

Look, I'm your twin.

I know you want him

and I know how you can get him.

But you gotta get rid of Tiana first.

But you have to be smart.

You can't kill her because you're not a murderer.

But you can outsmart her.

And I'll help you.

-Hey. -Hey.

[chuckles]

-You're right on time. -I got you something.

Well, actually, it's for the babies.

You did?

Aww. You did not have to.

I know, but I wanted to get a little something special

for my first day.

Thank you. I appreciate this.

I'm gonna have Savana and Jamison over for lunch

and you can just watch the babies back in the nursery.

Yeah. Sure.

Good. It's cute. Come on.

Right back here.

Here they are.

All right. You already know what to do.

Make yourself comfortable.

And I got a lot of cooking to do.

I gotta host this party,

so I'll see you soon.

-All right. -Okay.

Oh, let's put this down.

Here you go, Raya.

You're Kaya?

Oh. No, no, no, sweetie. What's wrong?

Let me see what's wrong.

Shh.

Come here, pretty girl. It's okay.

It's okay. Shh.

Are you really ready to be a mother to twins?

I know our mom couldn't handle it.

What do you want, Annie?

Same thing you want, to get rid of Tiana.

Of course I'm ready to be a mom.

I'm 21. I'm ready.

I don't think you're ready for any of this.

Why do you always doubt me, Annie?

Because you're weak and you're too nice.

I don't think you have what it takes to get this done.

You don't know me.

[Annie] So prove it.

You're in the house now. She trusts you.

It's a good thing.

Now, what's next?

Just let me handle it.

What about Mark?

Just trust me on that one.

Shh.

[knocks on door]

-Hey. -Hey.

The babies are sound asleep.

Just checking to see if you need anything.

Okay. As a matter of fact, I do.

I need help with this necklace.

This thing is so tiny.

I can't seem to quite grip it.

I got you.

That's beautiful.

Thank you.

My mom gave it to me

and then her mother gave it to her.

I was thinking about splitting it in half

and giving it to my twins.

Oh, that sounds amazing.

Ooh, what's that scent?

Hmm. You like it? It's Crush.

-Hmm. It smells so amazing. -I can get you a bottle.

It's only $10 down at the market.

-Please. -Yeah? Sure.

Okay. Oh, let me show you this dress.

Hmm.

-Wow. -[chuckles]

-You like it? -What's the occasion?

Mark got it for me and I never wore it.

He always gets on me about wearing it.

I think he laid it on the bed as a hint.

So I was gonna go downstairs

and finally wear it and surprise him.

-What do you think? -Yes.

You definitely should wear it.

No questions asked.

-You think so? -Uh-hmm.

Thank you. I needed that opinion.

-He's gonna be so surprised. -Uh-hmm.

-It's very pretty. -[Tiana] Thanks.

-Okay. -[knocks on door]

[groans]

I'll get it.

No, no, no. I got it.

[sniffs]

Is that Tiana's perfume?

Yeah. She let me borrow some.

She said it drives men crazy.

All right. She's not lying.

She gets whatever she wants when she wears it.

Ha. [grunts]

Waddup, big dawg? How you doing, baby?

A lot better now that I am out the house.

Do you know that we have a 12-year-old

just got her period?

So it's all types of crazy up in there.

No, I don't wanna hear nothing about that, man.

-[Jamison] Uh, what? What? -[Mark] No, man, we--

-What you talking about? -We don't want--

What? It's all about you, is that what you're saying?

[chuckles]

This barbecue is for you, bro.

-Is that right? -Hey, hold on.

Uh, Donna, this is my best friend, Jamie.

This is our new nanny.

-Nice to meet you, Donna. -You as well.

I'm gonna go get back to the babies.

You got it.

Where is the wife?

In the car, finishing up talking to her mom.

-Uh, are you crazy? -Uh, don't do it.

-Don't. Stop. -What?

You got a 20-year-old baddie up in here?

I'm sure I see nipples and booty cheeks.

-[laughs] -What? That is a recipe...

-I need you to-- -...for disaster.

Shh. Shut up. Tiana hired her, bro, not me, okay?

I got eyes for one woman.

-That's mine. That's it. -Oh.

-Is that what you selling? -I'm standing right on it.

-Really? -Uh-hmm.

Come on. You know what? I got eyesight too.

But you know what? You keep pretending that,

you know, because I'll pretend that I am a scientist.

Maybe a nuclear physicist. That's sounds better.

Maybe a psychopath. How about that? Much better.

-Oh, please. -Much better. There we go.

-There you go. -Marky Mark, how are you, sir?

-Oh, how you doing? -Mwah.

-How you doing? -Mwah, mwah. I'm good.

I have a question, okay?

How do you stay so beautiful

and sane married to this maniac?

-[laughter] -Oh, no,

that, I honestly do not know.

-I'll tell you. -What?

-It's the sex. -Oh, Jesus.

-Oh, yeah, it's the sex. -Fam, damn.

First of all, I'm not a maniac, okay?

Do you guys really believe that I am a maniac?

-Hmm, yes. -Absolutely.

Come on inside, please. Come this way.

Maniac in bed.

You know, I'll just close these big doors you got.

Oh. Lot of egos in this house. Let's go, baby.

Oh, you look super cute. I love it.

You do?

You don't think I look too fat in this dress?

Do not say that.

No, not at all.

Hey, do you mind holding Raya really quick

-while I go check on Kaya? -No. Come on.

Yes. [chuckles]

Come to Momma.

Hmm, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[chuckles] Okay.

Shh.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, no.

Oh, Raya.

[sighs] Mommy has to change now.

Shh.

Everything's almost ready.

Oh, no. What happened?

Little Raya decided she didn't want me to wear Daddy's outfit.

Oh, no. That's totally my fault.

I just fed her and then I forgot to burp her

before I gave her to you.

I just--I just wanted to go check on Kaya.

-I'm so sorry. -It's not your fault.

[sighs] I need a lot of changes with babies.

No outfit is safe.

-It's okay. -Okay. I'll go grab something

-to clean it up. -Okay.

Aw, it's okay.

It's okay. Shh.

[Savana] I'll grab them.

Tiana, is that you?

Oh. Hello.

You must be the new help.

The nanny.

My name is Donna.

Hey, Donna. I'm Savana.

It's nice to meet you.

You as well.

Uh...

I got the beers.

[Mark] You know my patties are a little bit dry now.

You know what I mean?

But I have a beer technique

where you put a little bit of beer--

-[Jamison] Oh. -Come on.

[Mark] Oh, oh, whoa. You see that?

[Jamison] Yes.

Now, you get your beer beef patty.

[Jamison] Uh-huh.

That's that shit I learned from down South

when I went to see my granddaddy.

-Wow. -[Mark] My man.

[Savana] So is it just me

or do you not notice how young and beautiful

and hot your new nanny is, girl?

And young and hot.

Savana, don't be jealous.

She's good with the babies and she's a good help.

Hmm. I don't know.

I just feel like she's up to something.

And I smelled your perfume on her.

Oh, yeah.

She said she liked it

and I just let her try some of it on.

That's all.

So you let another woman

wear the perfume that drives your man crazy?

[laughs]

-Are you crazy? -Stop it.

I didn't even think about it like that.

Well, I am for you.

And you never let a younger, more attractive woman

in your house around your man, okay?

That's like rule number one.

Okay. First of all, yeah, she's younger,

but the more attractive part, girl, don't have to overdo it.

Mark is only thinking about me, okay?

[chuckles] And you like 20 years ago.

-Twenty years ago? -Uh-hmm.

Don't... you know what? I am not that old.

Mark and I were like kids when we dated

so that doesn't even count.

He's like my brother.

I know. I know. I was just joking with you.

Uh-hmm.

Anyway, I'll leave it alone.

All I'm saying is be careful and keep your eyes open.

I think I'm good.

I mean, trust me, she's just watching the babies

and I'm always watching her.

-Hmm. -Always.

Okay. What you need to do

is get an old woman that looks like Madea up in here

to watch your kids.

-Oh, my God. Oh, my God. -Yes. Yes.

Stop. You know what I'm talking about.

Okay.

[laughter]

-I'm good. -Hmm.

-Thank you. -Put the juice on that one.

I wouldn't leave her alone with Mark if I was you.

♪ Hush, little baby don't say a word ♪

♪ Momma gonna buy you a mocking bird ♪

♪ And if that mocking bird don't sing ♪

♪ Donna gonna make sure you stay with me ♪

[Annie] Hi.

When are you gonna make your move?

What are you talking about?

On the hubby.

I mean, he was totally checking you out today.

He wants you and you want him.

So, like I said,

when are you gonna make your move?

Annie, I'm very capable of taking care of myself

without you popping up whenever you feel like it.

-I don't need your help. -[scoffs]

Please.

You can't live without me.

Actually, I can.

And I have for the past 21 years.

We'll see about that.

You can't seem to do anything right.

Look, your chin is lifting.

What? Oh, my God. No, no, no.

[chuckles]

[Donna] No.

Oh, my God. No, not now.

Oh, my God.

No, no, no. Not right now.

-Who are you talking to? -[gasps]

Um, no one.

Just myself.

Just a stupid little habit I have, sometimes.

Well, actually, I wanna talk to you.

Why don't you have a seat?

Okay.

Sure. What's up?

My husband and I, we're very happy.

Okay. I can see that.

Why are you telling me this?

Because if you try to come for my husband,

this little working relationship is gonna be over.

Wait. What? I'm so confused.

Are you suggesting that I've done something wrong?

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm giving you a warning.

You're a sweet little pretty girl,

but if you come for my family, I don't play about them.

Tiana, where is this coming from?

I promise you I would never do anything

like what you're suggesting.

I know you two are happy

and I love the bond that you and Mark share.

It's something that I want one day.

So if I've done anything to offend you,

please tell me so I can stop.

Okay.

[exhales]

I'm sorry.

[clears throat]

It's just that Savana

had mentioned something to me and I--

[scoffs] Savana?

-Yeah. -Your husband's ex you mean?

How do you know that?

Well, I overheard them talking about it.

It was like in a joking sense,

but I was wondering why they're so close.

So close? What do you mean?

Well, you could tell they had chemistry.

And I didn't know

if she was just a close friend or something.

But once I figured out that they dated in the past,

it all made sense.

Yeah.

They used to date back in the day.

It was around college days.

They just remained friends.

Listen, Tiana,

I don't think I'm the one you should be worried about

if I'm being honest.

[ominous music]

[water splashing]

[ominous music]

[ominous music]

[knocks on door]

Knock, knock.

I'm sorry. I know it's your nap time,

but I just wanted to let you know that Savana was here.

I guess she wanted to see you guys?

Really? What time is it?

[Donna] Uh, it's 12:30.

Oh, okay.

I didn't know she was coming.

Oh, I'm sorry I thought you knew.

But it's okay. Mark was out there with her.

Maybe she was just dropping off something.

-Okay. -[Donna] All right.

[Mark indistinct] going on, girlfriend?

-What you doing now? -[Savana] I know.

[Mark] My brother don't like that.

[Savana] Well, we're getting it cleaned.

[Mark] You're getting it cleaned?

-[Savana] Yeah. Yeah. -Oh, okay. All right. Do that.

[laughter]

-I'm joking. [laughs] -[Savana] Stop.

[Mark indistinct] come by then.

I'm telling you, you know, do it.

-Stop it. -You know what I mean? Oh, yeah.

[indistinct]

[indistinct chatter]

[Mark] Savana and I have been friends since we were kids.

Nothing ever happened.

[Tiana] Yeah, but it could have.

-And that's not even the point. -[Mark] Fine.

-What is your point? -[Annie] You did good, Raven.

You planted the seed

and now all you have to do is get rid of her

and he'll be all yours.

But what about the twins?

They deserve the life we never had.

They separated us.

I wanna make sure that never happens to them.

-Tiana separated us. -[Raven] No.

Melissa did.

And I will never forgive her for that.

But I can't let myself get sidetracked.

I'm taking Raya and Kaya

and I promise I will give them the life we never had.

Okay. But you can't do it by yourself.

You need a husband to help you, Rae,

and Mark is the perfect candidate.

I mean, he's already their father.

It's just perfect.

No. Annie, stop trying to put stuff in my head.

I never planned on breaking up this family.

I just want Raya and Kaya.

No. You want to avenge my death!

No, I don't!

That's what you want.

I just want the babies

so I can finally have the family I never had.

Okay. Fine.

Have it your way.

But you will never forgive yourself

for letting Tiana get away

with what she did to me.

This is bugged out, okay?

You act like I'm not faithful.

I don't love her anymore.

Yeah, but you did, and that's enough

to spark my suspicion.

Suspicion?

I've done nothing for you

to be suspicious about.

Savana and I have been friends since we were kids,

before I even met you.

So there's no reason for me

to throw away a 20-year-old friendship

because my wife's a little jealous right now

and you're having these crazy thoughts in your head.

-Jealous? -[Mark] Yes!

And crazy thoughts?

Well, what about the time in Hawaii, Mark?

Babe, we were playing spin the bottle.

Savana and I were drunk and we kissed in front of you.

You kissed that dude Jason in front of me.

Love, nothing happened.

But it could have.

-And that's not even the point. -[Mark] Okay.

So what exactly is your point?

The point is that you may have feelings for another woman.

Jesus Christ.

We're gonna have this conversation again?

-Yes. Yes. -[Mark] Okay.

For the 100th time,

Savana and I didn't break up because we wanted to.

Her family moved to Atlanta.

I stayed here.

-You know this shit already. -What?

Did I still have feelings for her

when I met you? Yes.

Do I have feelings for her now?

What?

T, it's not in the way you think.

Babe, it's hard to explain.

Go. Just leave.

Go. Get out of here.

T, you're being ridiculous.

And I'm not leaving my house right now.

Then I'll take the twins

and me and Donna will leave.

You're not taking my kids anywhere.

Okay. Are you being serious with me right now?

-[sighs] -[Mark] Okay.

-I'm being serious. -[Mark] All right.

Look, I just need some space.

[sighs]

All right.

Fine.

I'mma give you some space.

I'mma go to our hotel room till you calm down.

But let me say this.

I love you...

and you trippin'.

[Tiana] Mark.

Wow.

-Mark. -[door slams]

[sighs]

[knocks on door]

[Tiana] Come in.

Hi.

Hi.

[door closing]

I thought you could use this.

I appreciate you.

Kinda hard not to hear all the noise.

-Oh, I'm sorry. -No. I'm sorry

if I caused you any trouble.

No, no, no.

You didn't do anything.

Mark caused his own mess.

It was bound to happen with or without you.

I've been suspecting him and Savana for a long time.

[scoffs] Men.

Men?

What do you know about men?

You're just a baby.

I'm 21.

Thank you very much.

I've had my fair share of men problems.

Really? Like what?

Well, a couple of years ago,

there was this guy, Bobby.

I was in love.

Or, at least, I thought I was.

We were gonna get married,

have a family with a dog.

So what happened?

I got pregnant.

Hmm.

[Donna] And everything changed.

Bobby wasn't ready at the time to have a baby.

Plus, he was a pastor's son,

so how would it look,

him having a kid without marriage?

So I told him we should get married...

and he told me to get an abortion.

Hmm.

Donna, I'm so sorry.

So what did you do?

I actually went to the hospital to get the abortion

but I just couldn't go through with it.

Bobby disappeared.

And I lost the baby

due to so much stress.

It was so hard on my body,

they had to remove my ovaries.

So you can't have--

All I've ever wanted my whole life

was to become a mother,

so you can imagine how hard it was to hear

that I'll never ever have children.

Hmm.

I'm so sorry that happened to you.

[sighs] I don't even know what to say.

No, it's okay.

I've learned to deal with it,

which is why I got into the nanny business.

Well, just know that I'm very, very happy

that you're here.

You can stay as long as you like,

especially now since I need the company.

Oh, please.

You guys are gonna be just fine.

You two love each other.

And at the end of the day, love conquers all, right?

Right.

Hey, can I be honest about something

since we're sharing stories?

Sure.

What's up?

I read this article about you online.

Look, that article was all wrong.

Well, do you mind telling me what really happened?

Well, that was a story

that I didn't wanna talk about, but okay.

I guess this is the day.

Um...

my friend, Raven...

she had an assistant she hired, Annie.

Annie Dotson.

And turns out that she was the twin sister of a baby

that Raven delivered two decades ago.

That was a stillbirth.

Long story short,

she blamed Raven for killing her twin sister.

And she broke into my home

and tried to kill me.

[grunting]

[groaning]

[Tiana] So after I was knocked out for hours,

I woke up.

And I rush over to Raven's house

and I see Annie about to kill her.

[screams]

I didn't mean to kill her.

I was just acting on impulse.

And it still haunts me to this day.

So, technically, you were acting in self-defense

because Annie was trying to kill Raven?

[Tiana] Yes.

I feel guilty about it

and I've been going through therapy for months now.

So you weren't trying to kill her?

No. I would never try to take anyone's life.

I mean, I was protecting my friend.

And the media got a hold of it and they made it seem

like I was just some cold-blooded killer.

Gosh.

That's terrible.

Wait. What happened to Raven?

She moved to Japan to open up her practice

'cause it was just too much to stay here.

That is so sad.

[Tiana] Yeah.

I guess we both have pretty sad stories.

[woman breathes deeply]

That was a great story you told back there.

I almost believed you myself.

It wasn't a story. It was the truth.

I've just never told anyone about it.

So why would you tell Tiana?

She's not your friend.

I don't know.

It was just a moment.

And I felt better talking about it.

So you were pregnant and you lost the baby?

Babies.

Oh, my gosh. You were pregnant with twins?

Which is why I want Raya and Kaya so bad.

That's perfect.

Once you take them, you guys can be a happy family.

And I can be your nanny.

No. I can't do that to her.

She doesn't deserve it.

What? Are you serious? She killed me.

And she didn't give a damn about you or anyone else!

She was protecting herself.

You beat her up

and then you tried to kill Raven,

so stop acting like you're so innocent.

Where did you hear that from?

Tiana told me what really happened.

Tiana is a liar!

She shot me in the back without even giving me a chance.

She shot you because you were about to kill Raven.

It was self-defense.

Oh. Whatever.

You wanna believe a stranger over your sister,

then be my guest.

Turn your back on your family.

Annie, get out of my head.

Just leave me alone.

I'm not going anywhere.

[sighs] Whatever I have to do to get rid of you,

I will.

Maybe I should start taking my pills again.

Don't you dare.

[suspenseful music]

-Um-- -[Mark] Uh, I'm right

in the middle of something, Sherri.

-Is everything okay? -Okay.

Well, of course, it is.

But there's someone here to see you,

and she's actually really hot.

[scoffs] Did she give you a name?

Yeah. It was Donna.

No, nah, that is just my nanny.

Wonder what she's doing here.

-Hey. -Hey, Mark.

Hope you don't mind me stopping by.

I just wanted to talk to you about something.

Yeah. No, come on. Come on inside.

Now, is everything okay? Where are the kids?

Oh, they're with Tiana for the day.

You know, she hasn't been doing so well lately, especially.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

I miss her.

She misses you too so much.

That's actually why I stopped by.

I was thinking

maybe you could put together a little special gathering

for her at the hotel.

Something she'd never expect.

And it doesn't have to be a special occasion.

It could just be something to help her unwind a bit,

have a little bit of fun.

She's been so stressed with all that's going on.

We can invite all of her friends.

You can tell her to meet you somewhere,

just the two of you,

and we'll all be there waiting

to surprise her.

What do you think?

Ah. I don't really know about that.

You know, Tee's, yeah,

she's not really good with surprises, you know.

Well, me and her have been talking.

And I honestly think she would love this.

Plus, this could be the opportunity

to say I'm sorry and get you back home.

[chuckles] You know what?

Fine. Sounds like a good idea.

Yeah. This is great.

-I'm in. -[Donna] Oh, I'm so excited.

I can start planning everything.

And maybe this will give her and Savana the chance

to, kind of, talk things through?

Yeah, I agree.

Hey, has she talked to you about it at all?

No. Not really. I just know she's very upset.

[sighs] How is she?

Not herself without you.

But I'm doing all I can to help out.

You're awesome, Donna, all right?

So thank you.

Oh, no. No worries.

No, I appreciate you. Here's what I'll do.

I'll text you a shortlist, uh, of her close friends. Okay?

Okay. Perfect. I'll put everything together

and I'll send you over the information.

All right. Uh, fuck.

I guess, uh, I hope you to see you back

-at the house soon. -[chuckles]

That's the plan.

Thanks.

[sighs]

Come on, buddy.

[sighs]

Sherri, come on in.

[Donna] T, everything's going to be fine.

I'm sure Mark is just itching to come home.

Do you think I was too overreactive?

I mean, sometimes I could let my feelings get the best of me.

Mark, he's never cheated on me. I should just trust him.

I think you were just acting off of emotion,

which happen sometimes.

Maybe you went a little far kicking him out?

[giggles]

That was kind of extra.

Why don't you talk to him?

Maybe the two of you can meet up somewhere

and just talk things through.

I know you miss your husband.

I can't even imagine being without the one I love so much.

Actually, I can set something up for you, too.

That way, it doesn't seem like you were the first to give in.

That actually sounds like a good idea, Donna.

Okay. Well, I'll talk with him

and I'll send you over the details.

-[Tiana] Yeah. -[Donna] Okay?

I like that.

You are such a good friend.

-I'm happy you're here. -Aww. Thanks, T.

I'm really happy I'm here, too.

Oh. Gosh.

-Okay. Duty calls. -Yup.

Okay. How about I get Raya

and you get Kaya?

Sounds like a plan.

[wind]

[casual dining]

-Hi. -Hi.

Thanks for meeting me.

Yeah. What is this all about?

Mark and I are throwing Tiana a little party,

and I was wondering if you'd help me with something.

Sure, yeah. I'd love to.

Just let me know whatever you need.

Well, Mark and I wanted to have the party here.

And I know you work for the hotel,

so I was thinking

maybe you could help me secure this location?

Actually, it was Mark's idea.

He says if there's anybody on earth more reliable,

-it's you. -Really?

-Yeah. -Okay.

Well, um, let me see what I could do.

Oh, but don't tell Tiana

-because it's a surprise. -Uh-hmm. Okay.

And, um, I'll talk to Mark.

I think the less you guys communicate, the better.

What does that supposed to mean?

Well, between you and me,

Mark and Tiana aren't on the best of terms

because of you.

[chuckles] Really? Why not?

I mean, what do I have to do

with anything that concerns them?

Really, Savana? The way he looks at you?

I mean, he clearly still has feelings for you.

I could see it. And I've only met you one time.

Now, if I could see it, what do you think Tiana sees?

[chuckles]

Yeah. I mean, we did have a connection.

Which is why you should let me handle all the details.

And I'll text you.

Sure, yeah. Um, whatever works best.

Okay. I'll see you at the party.

[footsteps walking away]

[casual dining]

[birds chirping]

Both babies are down for the count.

[Tiana sighs]

Thanks. I'm so nervous about tonight.

What if things go wrong?

There's no way anything could go wrong.

You both love and miss each so much.

You're gonna have an amazing time

and then he'll be right back at home where he needs to be.

With us, his family.

Okay. You're right, I'm tripping.

Go have fun.

I'll be here with the babies. Don't worry.

Wait. Let me show you something.

Uh,

do you think I should go casual or sexy?

Hmm. I'd go with sexy.

Hmm. Okay. I'm trusting you.

Okay. Make sure you meet him at the bar at 8:00 PM sharp.

-Got it? -Uh-hmm. Got it.

All right.

[Annie] Hi, sis.

Hey, Annie.

-I haven't seen you for a while. -[Annie] I've been busy.

And I see you haven't needed my help lately.

I guess you could say I've been a little busy myself, too.

I see. Nice work, sis.

I didn't think you had it in you.

[scoffs] And you thought I wasn't capable.

So? What's next?

Just sit back and watch the fireworks.

[Annie laughs] And I thought I was the evil twin.

[laughs]

[laughter]

[traffic]

[traffic and sirens]

[Mark] Thank you guys for being here.

-Thank you for this idea. -[Savana] Okay.

-Come on, babe. -[Savana] Yeah. Yeah. All right.

[Savana] And hide because she's gonna be here in a second.

All right. Don't scare her though.

[laughter]

I like...I just...I don't even know what she's gonna do, right?

Because she doesn't like surprises, so like--

[Savana] No. She's gonna love it.

-You think so? -Yes.

I'm nervous as hell. Yeah.

-[Savana] We did good. -[Mark] I did good, right?

-Yeah. -She goes in here.

-Take a deep breath, you got it. -I don't know.

-I'm trying to-- -This is good, this is good.

-Mark! -Hey.

-[grunts] -[Mark] Ow!

Hey! What the hell is your problem?

You're sleeping with Savana again?

Again? What are you talking about, Tiana?

-Mark! You know, what? -You're trippin'--

Damn!

Calm down!

T, stop!

You're the reason why he's not coming home, aren't you?

Hey, hey.

T, look at me. Look at me!

This is a surprise party for you.

We thought it'd be cool to get together

since you've been so stressed out lately.

Savana is here to support you!

Take a look.

[all] Surprise.

[Tiana] Sorry.

[sobbing]

-I think we should go. -Wait!

-[Jamison] Come on, honey. -[Savana] Yeah.

Yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Uh, Savana, I'm sorry. I thought that--

[Savana] Well, you thought wrong!

I would never do anything like that to you.

You're my friend.

Savana, I'm sorry.

Were my friend.

Come on, J, let's go.

[sigh]

Baby, I'm sorry.

After everything we've been through?

I can't believe you'd think that I would betray you

okay.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, guys.

Mark! Wait, I'm sorry!

Mark.

Mark, Mark.

[Mark] What, T?

Please. Just listen to me.

Why? You don't trust me.

You know, I get that now.

But I don't think I can be with a woman

that doesn't trust me,

especially after I've given her no reason not to.

Mark, it's just been a lot going on.

I mean, we haven't been speaking because of Savana.

I show up here just to see you and she's here.

I mean, how do you think that looked to me?

-I snapped! -Yeah, you've...

she's your best friend.

She's married to my best friend!

But Donna said this is gonna be a good idea.

She set this up, all right?

Donna told me it was a good idea, too.

You know, it doesn't matter whose idea it was.

I'm sure Donna was just trying to help us out.

See, bottom line is...

I don't think I can do this with you anymore.

What are you saying?

What are you saying? What are you saying, huh?

I'm saying that I need some time.

[sniffle]

That's what I'm saying.

Mark.

Hello?

This is Judy from Nanny Care.

I was hoping to speak with Tiana?

Sure, this is her.

Great, so we're doing a routine checkup on you and your nanny.

How are things going with you and Cindy?

Oh. Um, we didn't hire Cindy.

Uh, yes.

You hired Cindy Gilmore a couple months back?

We're just following up to see how everything is going.

Um, there must be some type of mistake.

We hired a Donna.

Donna? Um, let me see here. My mistake.

There must be something going on with the paperwork.

Can you give me a second?

Sure.

Hmm. We're not showing a Donna in the system.

Can you spell that for me?

D-O-N-N-A.

And what's her last name?

Donna Washington, Washington?

Uh, 'kay, I'm not seeing a Donna Washington

in our database.

[sighs] Are you sure?

I mean, this is Nanny Care, right?

Yes it is.

Can you please check one more time

for Donna Washington?

Yes ma'am, I just did,

and there's no Donna Washington in our system. In fact...

You hired a nanny named Cindy. Cindy Gilmore.

Can you text me a picture of Cindy please.

Yes. Sending it now.

Did Cindy never contact you?

[gasps]

I'll call you back.

[Melissa] Have a seat.

So, um, how did you get my address?

Oh, um, I'm Tiana Chambers and Raven is my nanny.

Raven?

Here, have some tea.

So, um, Raven is my daughter.

I haven't seen or spoken to her in a few months now.

Dear God, I pray that she's okay

and she is taking her medication.

Medication?

You mentioned Raven left and what, she never came back?

Raven suffers from an illness

which she developed from her birth mother.

Schizophrenia.

When I adopted her, I prayed

that she wouldn't develop the same illness

as her and her sister.

Raven has a sister?

Yes. A twin.

But sadly, she passed away a little over a year ago.

Poor Annie.

Annie Dodson?

Yes.

Oh. It's okay.

Did you--did you know her as well?

Don't worry. I'll clean that up.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I have a long drive back.

I have to go. But it was nice talking to you.

Yeah, sure. But it was so nice to talk

to one of my Raven's friends.

If you see her, tell her I said hello

and that I miss her,

and that I love her and I worry about her every day.

I will.

Oh, God.

Raven. What has she done now?

[breathing heavy]

What's the matter, T?

You look like you've seen a ghost.

I don't--I don't-- I don't understand.

My name is Raven.

I was named after your bestie,

you know, the one you killed my sister for.

Melissa told me everything.

[laughs] Oh, what does she know?

She told me that she misses you

and she wants you to come back home.

All she wants to do is control me

and hide things from me,

like the fact that I even had a sister.

Annie?

Surprise.

Uh-uh.

Annie, how is this? This can't be.

It's actually all Melissa's fault.

She should've just let me die.

But no, she had to be Captain Save-Her-Pants.

She was a nurse in the delivery room

when I was pronounced dead.

-Annie's twin sister? -Bingo.

But this can't be.

You're alive? Is this just some type of joke?

It's not a joke at all.

When I was delivered, Melissa took me to another room

and she saved my life.

But she never told anyone.

She felt like my mother was a crackhead

and I'd be better off with her.

She was right, at first.

I mean, I did have the best of life growing up.

But I always felt like something was missing.

[Annie] Me.

Hey, Annie.

Who are you talking to, Donna?

My name isn't Donna. It's Raven!

She's talking to me.

Her sister, you know...

The one you murdered.

Annie... Raven, listen to me.

I was only trying to protect myself and my friend.

-I didn't mean to hurt Annie. -No.

Raven, there's no one here but us.

[laughs] No, no, no, no, sweetheart.

Annie is here with us

and she's gonna make you pay for what you did to her.

And when she's done with you, I'm gonna take my children

and I'm gonna go live the life I should've had with my twin.

I saw the little jealousy you had for Savana. [chuckles]

So I just gave you a little push

and you walked right into the trap.

What are you talking about?

Come on, Tiana.

Savana and Mark... [laughs]

I mean, I had a better chance with your husband than Savana.

You bitch!

Actually, that was my idea.

Annie, shut up!

I'm so tired of you always trying to take credit

for everything I do!

Just being honest.

You wouldn't have the balls or the brains

to pull any of this off without me.

Annie, please. I'm not finished yet.

[sighs]

Where was I?

Oh, yeah. You.

Now, you're all alone.

And when I leave with the babies,

you'll really have no one.

Raven's gone. Puppy's gone.

It'll just be you, poor you.

-[screams] -[grunts]

[Tiana] Your sister was an accident but you,

you came in my house, you tried to ruin my husband

then you try to take my two kids?

Oh, hell no. This one... this one's on purpose.

And she's threatening to take the babies

and she's trying to kill me.

-[operator] Okay. Don't worry. -Please hurry.

[operator] Units are on the way right now.

Okay. Okay.
